Chapter 1516: Chapter 673: Li Shu! Master of the Purple Fire Divine King_2
“Hmm.”
“Blood Feather, An Dao, what about you?” The Black Stone God King’s gaze fell again on the many Divine Monarchs present from the Chaos Divine Court in the distance.
The many Divine Monarchs exchanged glances.
“God King, among the top ten, five have already been accepted as disciples by Divine Monarchs; we shouldn’t repeat the same choice.” The White Ape Divine Monarch scratched his head, smiling: “That kid ranked eighth suits me well. I’m willing to take him as an Inner Sect Disciple.”
“If he pleases me further, he might become a Direct Disciple.” The White Ape Divine Monarch said.
“God King.”
“That little fellow ranked ninety-second, I am willing to take as a disciple.” Guan Yun Divine Monarch suddenly spoke.
God Kings and Divine Monarchs taking disciples aren’t restricted to the top ten.
If they are willing and like them, even those beyond the top three hundred can be accepted as disciples… A higher rank simply means more exposure and thus a higher chance of being chosen as a disciple.
Several more Divine Monarchs spoke up successively.
“Alright.” The Black Stone God King nodded: “Are there any more?”
A moment of silence.
Only six Divine Monarchs were willing to take the initiative to accept disciples.
In fact, this is the norm.
Unless someone has a Ten-Star Meridian, or has an unparalleled talent to comprehend Space Law to the ’Tenth Stage’ at the Demigod Realm… Otherwise, not even the Divine Monarchs, let alone the God Kings, usually care.
What about a Nine Star Meridian genius?
Indeed, there’s a significant chance of becoming a Divine Monarch, but how long will it take? Tens of thousands of years? For Divine Monarchs, it actually doesn’t hold much significance.
The strong always prioritize themselves.
Unless a disciple truly shows potential far beyond their own, otherwise, Divine Monarchs long more for self-advancement.
Ascending to God King is the highest pursuit for Divine Monarchs.
“Alright, there are two more in the top ten who have yet to be taken as disciples, so I will assign a Divine Monarch to accept them.” The Black Stone God King said.
At this moment.
“Black Stone.” Li Yuan, seated in the main seat, suddenly spoke. His voice was soft, yet immediately drew the attention of all the Heavenly Divine and God Kings at the celebration.
Earlier, when the Black Stone God King inquired about taking disciples, most were indifferent, as it belonged to the internal affairs of the Chaos Divine Court.
But when Li Yuan spoke, the implication was entirely different.
Today’s protagonist was Li Yuan.
Those attending the celebration were well aware of Li Yuan’s profile; he could be considered a future Divine Emperor, and he had never taken a disciple before.
Was Li Yuan going to accept a disciple?
“Junior brother, you?” The Dong Mang God King was curious.
“Could the Heart Origin God King be taking a disciple?” The Blood Flame God King, sitting not far away, smiled and said, “I thought the Heart Origin God King would wait for tens or even hundreds of millions of years to take a disciple.”
All the God Kings looked towards Li Yuan.
“That young girl?” The Purple Fire God King, intrigued, pointed at the black-garbed girl still standing bewildered below.
“Hmm.”
“It’s her.” Li Yuan nodded, speaking calmly: “Black Stone, have someone ask if she is willing to come under my tutelage.”
“Alright.” The Black Stone God King didn’t ask further questions.
“That young girl.”
“Is being taken as a disciple by the Heart Origin God King?”
“Why?”
“Her talent is indeed good, but just that.” Numerous Heavenly Divine and God Kings murmured with some confusion; to them, the black-garbed girl was decent, but far from being at the level to be taken as a disciple by a God King.
“Li Shu.” Li Yuan did not explain.
He decided to take a disciple.
First, because Li Shu’s talent was indeed good. He carefully examined her detailed background… only to find some contradictions.
On the surface, Li Shu seemed to have been cultivating for over three hundred years.
But in reality, her actual cultivation time was less than two hundred years… Within such a short period, her Law Comprehension was nearly at the Tenth Rank Level, which was already incredibly astonishing. In terms of talent, she was arguably the foremost in this generation’s Demigod talent competition.
She also had the Nine Star Meridian.
And her Spear Technique aligned closely with Li Yuan’s Dao, making her a good candidate from a comprehensive perspective.
On the other hand.
There was Li Shu’s experience.
She was from an ordinary planet in a Star Domain, once having a warm and wonderful family. On the planet, she was also part of a prominent family, showing remarkable talent from a young age and becoming the hope of her family… In pursuit of greater strength, she left her planet as a young girl to go cultivate at another powerful sect.
However—
An invasion by foreign enemies brought disaster to her home planet. Although she returned, she ultimately couldn’t turn the tide, and only by sheer luck obtaining another significant opportunity, inheriting from a Heavenly Divine, did she survive… But she could only watch as her home was utterly destroyed.
Her home planet was destroyed.
And some of her actions ultimately implicated her sect, leading it to be destroyed by this same enemy.
She eventually fled.
The Heavenly Divine from which she inherited was originally a strong figure from the Chaos Divine Court… After hiding her identity, she eventually joined the Chaos Divine Court.
On the Source Fire Star, she gained many opportunities from within the Emperor Origin Realm, which made her cultivation time even harder to be peered into… Only the God Kings could discern it.
Yet, even when the God Kings discerned some discrepancies, they wouldn’t be concerned, as every talent has some opportunity on their path.
…”Back then, if not for Lant, Senior Dongfang, and me… succeeding generations defending one after another, my Seven Star Civilization might have been destroyed too.” Li Yuan silently contemplated.
In Li Yuan’s heart.
This Li Shu’s experiences were quite similar to his own… Only she failed to save her home planet.
“Give her a chance.” Li Yuan mused.
What the Purple Fire God King said was a catalyst.
It piqued Li Yuan’s interest… and thus he decided to take her as a disciple.
Otherwise, even someone with a Ten-Star Meridian wouldn’t hold much significance for Li Yuan, and he might not be willing to take them as a disciple.
However, Li Yuan did not yet know that his decision to take a disciple today would add many variables to his future.
…
Divine Ship Central, the gathering place for a hundred thousand demigods.
“How many will be noticed by the God Kings and taken as disciples?”
“I don’t know.”
